Faculty

AlphaStar Academy mainly considers teaching, competition, and education background as well as passion and dedication for the subject when hiring full-time and part-time teachers.
We hire our instructors and TAs from a pool of High School, College, Ph.D. students, school teachers, and University Professors. Our faculty have teaching/coaching/tutoring experience and have expertise in the subject area, regardless of their age.
They have participation and/or training experience in national/international math competitions and Olympiads in Math, CS, and Physics such as USAMO, USACO, USAPhO, IMO, IOI, and IPhO.
They are role models and inspiration for students with their backgrounds and achievements.

Testimonials

AlphaStar has taught me so much, and they can teach you so much too!

The online live classes were well-structured.

I think the content for MC30 is challenging but not too difficult for me, and I like how the lecture notes are structured to help the students feel comfortable with the new material with examples and exercises. The exercises and quiz are also helpful to reinforce the content of the lesson. I also like how the solutions are given after submitting the problems to check the work and provides new strategies to solve the problem.

Online classes were very eloquent, and it was a lot of fun being able to learn from home.

Very interesting and informative. Gelgi was great! :)
